As part of a recent spike of interest in British affairs and an hours-long posting spree on his social media platform, X, on Friday morning—which included attacks on the country’s current Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and controversial demands for the release of a imprisoned right-wing rabble rouser—Elon Musk suggested that the United Kingdom’s parliament should be dissolved entirely.

The last time a British King dissolved parliament was King William IV in 1831. Since then, decorum and the law have greatly reduced the monarch's power.

Elon Musk has called on King Charles III to have a new General Election in Britain after the X boss accused the government of poorly handling criminal gang investigations.
